Day One - Private Alex Artamonov (Aldrinor) - Follow the road to Elektrozavodsk (Электрозаводск)

I'm starting from where I left off last time. I'm on the outskirts of Chernogorsk ( Черногорск ) towards the eastward farms. These farms have high value items, and are notorious for having zombies spawn inside of them, waiting to ambush unsuspecting players. Especially at night time.

Farms east of Chernogorsk.

Seeing as I have just entered the map in the first time in over a day, it'll be my first supply run. The one on the left is my first target. Sneaking in is no problem, neither is sneaking to the farm over to the right. Inside I found myself a compound crossbow, great since it doesn't make a lot of noise and is certainly better at staying stealthy than my current double-barreled shotgun. Nothing else of value between the two farms. The hard part is getting out without attracting the zombies. 

From there I head eastwards, following the road, but staying within the forest. Eventually I come across a small town between Chernogorsk and Elektrozavodsk. Inside, I find a map, it makes getting around a -lot- easier as you can place waypoints on the map (If the server you are on allows you) by 'shift+click'ing a point on the map.

My location is centered on the map above.

As I make my way out of the small town I need to cross a set of rail-road tracks to get to my next targeted supply spot. 

Scavenging for supplies at night can be both rewarding and perilous. Zombies cannot see or hear you as well at night, however, neither can you. One of the hazards at night are roads, buildings with single exits, and rail roads. Roads and rail roads are hazardous as if you are running along the ground adjacent  

which gives off 1 to 2 bars of sound, when you pass over a road or rail-road it'll jump up to 4. You'll attract zombies rather quickly if there are any around.

If you are intent on avoiding zombies, walk over these crossings.

The outskirts of Elektrozavodsk 

Electro is now in front of me. I have a few houses that I've marked and intend to search. But first, there's a farm with some goodies nearby. Inside, I find another crossbow, great for me as I collect the steel bolts. Ammunition for my crossbow. While I am able to recollect my bolts after I shoot them, it doesn't always work, especially with zombies in close quarters, such as a house. I also find this fellow, not sure what happened to him. Whatever it is, I put him out of his misery.


I also lose a bolt in the process. As you can see, it looks like he spawned at ground level, but the game did not account for the farm being there, so he clipped the model for the farm. Which also means my bolt went with him as he went down.

This house looks promising! 

I find this house, my first intended target for Elektrozavodsk.

Score! Inside I find more food and soda, a water bottle, another watch, and the best thing I've found tonight: An Alice backpack!

Hard to see, but it is an Alice backpack. It carries 20 item slots.
The second biggest backpack in the game.

I exchange it for my Czech backpack and transfer things over.

Next up are some houses to the south and some industrial buildings too.

 Halfway there I encounter a zombie that is getting a little too close to me. Hard to see in the picture, but he's hopping along.

Well, not a problem anymore (Right picture)

Aghast though! Before I could collect my cross bow bolt (my last one too) 3 zombies converge upon the now dead zombie. They are searching for the source of the sound.

I ain't risking my life for a bolt, so I crouch walk out of there. I pass by a gasoline station and crawl underneath a broken wall section to avoid being seen by zombies - a close call that one. They would've seen me if I did not crawl.

This is where I end up for the night.  Stuck inside a house, zombies swarming the outside of it. I heard a player running past the house, I tried calling out to him to seek shelter with me inside, but he ignored me. He had gotten eaten by zombies, which is why there are so many now around the house. 

I found another crossbow bolt and a water bottle. This wraps it up for tonight. Not much I can do if I can't leave the house

Next, surviving Elektrozavodsk (Электрозаводск)
